C Language Programming Tutorial - Step by Step

        Programming in C Language

Introduction of C programming

C programming language is general purpose, imperative, procedural and high level language with low level programming feature. C is the most widely used programming language. C is providing more control over input and output compare to other programming languages.

History of C Programming

C is a programming language invented / developed at AT & T’s Bell laboratory of USA in 1972. This is design and developed by Dennis Ritchie. C programming language is very important and widely used even though it is very old and developed in late 1960's.

Silent Features of C Programming

The silent features of C programming are following :-

• C is a general purpose, structured programming language.
• C lies in between these two level languages i.e Low level and high level language. This is the reason C languages is also known as middle level language.
• C also allow the manipulation of bits, bytes and memory management functions.
• C code is very portable, that allows the same C program to be run on the machines with different hardware configurations.
• C programming language used for systems programming and application programming also.
• one advantage of C is that it lets you write programs that resemble everyday English.
• Major parts of the popular operating systems like windows, UNIX, Linux are still written in C. 
• C language is a collection of a library files.
• C is commonly called a structured language. Structured language is one that divides the entire programs in modules using top down approach where each module executes one job or task.
• C supports several control structures such as while, do-while, and for and various data structures such as files and arrays etc.

What is the Advantages of C Language Programming?

• C programming language is portable and this is the reason this can be used from one computer to another computer without being changing of codes or being little changes.
• C language programming is a structure based and this make user to think in a terms of function modular and blocks which make easy to test, debugging and run the program.  Modularity is the main characteristics of C programming. We can split the c Programming in to modules instead of repeating the same logic statements
• C program is a collection of functions and that are supported by c library.
• C is also a middle level language and it connect the high level language and low level language.
• It best used for data structures and designing system software.
